PARIS-The public is reminded that
number of the Review by pasars highly is no Bail thing as Parcul Fest creditable to their respective authors Some translations from Chinese novela and to Europe, e. Much trouble and disap- playa na warked by both accuracy and fresh-pointment are caused by persistent attempts Reas of style; and an account of the career of to send small valuabio trifles through the the Chinese poersatesman of the eleventh Post. Fans, Curies, Articles of Dress, century, Bu Tung-pe, by Mr. E. C. Bowes, Fancy Work, and similar presents are con is not only historically valuable, but is also tinually being refused, the senders having distinguished by its literary grace. Beside often spent more in Postage than wold notices of new books relating to China and have paid the freight by steamer. No the East, which will be a useful feature of refund can be made on such parcels of the the Keitto, if carried out with punehuality value of Stamps obliterated before the and detail, we are glad to notice that nature of the contents was discovered. "Notes" and "Queries" are destined to find a place in ite pagas also. It is to be hoped that this opening for contributions on Chinese subjects may avoke a similar degree of literary soul to that which was displayed during the lifetime of its prede Dessor in the field, and that the Chino Review may receive the support necessary to ipante It continuance...
